Search For Images, not Metadata

ImageIQ For Aperture is the image search tool missing from Aperture. With ImageIQ, you search for images, not their metadata. Visually similar images are tagged with a keyword that includes the name of the image you are searching for. I’m using ImageIQ almost every day now as it’s become a part of my normal workflow, not to mention I’m developing it. ;)

ImageIQ uses the same algorithms found in the latest versions of Aperture Duplicate Detector (ADD) and ADD For iPhoto. These algorithms visually profile your images and ImageIQ searches for similarities. It works to find these similarities independent of file format and image size. Most color adjustments are also detected.

Change Log

V1.3.4 Introduces two new algorithms to be used in searching. ImageIQ+ (a refinement on the original algorithm) and ImageIQ Pro (a completely new alogorithm). Selection scan can now be used to update previous analysis. Bug fixes.
V1.2.8 Searching is much faster. Critical fix for a bug that could cause a crash when starting an analysis. Counts of Analyzed images corrected. Auto-Sensitivity is now capped to 10 to prevent it from trying to hard to find an image. Tech support links in the help menu. Loading a library now shows progress. Much better peak memory footprints. Fix for found and tagged count when searching for multiple images at once. Other bug fixes.
